What printer settings do you use for paper type and quality (I have an epson photo printer)?

For a basic black outlines (like patterns) I use the lowest setting. For a picture I use the highest defined setting-the one that gives you the most vivid color.

I have a Canon MG5220 inkjet printer and the image quality is fine. However, if you're looking for stunning photo-quality prints, I'd suggest picking up actual photo paper (my preference is glossy).

Frankly, I don't know. But I did notice that it distorts the colors more than you'd expect from an "advanced" printer. The printed image is sharp and detailed, but it's of different huge (e.g. yellowish camel instead of beige, or bluish gray instead of greenish gray). That said, I print on Hammermill 28 lb paper, not on specific Epson photo paper.

According to Cannon the printer will choose to print photos CMYK mode. That is the best I can do since I am not an expert.

So sorry. I do not know what the best solution for you is. All I know is that the EPSON is terrible handling card stock. Handles regular paper 11x17 just fine.

For labels, set the paper type to Heavy Paper in the print driver properties settings. This will make the printer heat the fuser longer and the toner will not flake of as easy.

Hi Marion:You can try changing your color saturation settings in your printer properties. You can also reduce the resolution sometimes helps.

Have you changed the paper setting in the printer setup software? I don't know if that will help. I have done business cards in mine.

Hi: I have an Epson R2000 printer for photographs and the Ultra Premium is my favorite paper. I would buy the 8 1/2 x 11 for an 8 x 10 picture because I would be matting it to go in a frame. If you just want to put a picture in a frame without matting you could use 8 x 10. I personally wouldn't do that. I tend to do a lot of 16 x 20 frames, so then the paper I use is the Ultra 13 x 19. It gives me a great 12 x 16 picture. This is the Ultra size I use the most. I think it's always good to have a little play with the paper so that's why I recommend the 8 1/2 x 11 for the 8 x 10 picture. Hope that helps.

I am able to print beautiful 13 x 19 prints with this printer. I only use Epson paper and inks. They frame well and are archival. I love this printer except for smaller sized paper which does not feed reliably. I thinbk you should be satisfied with the quality of the work it produces.

I am afraid you will never get close to photo quality using an inkjet on plain paper. The Epson is a spectacular performing inkjet + all in one machine, but no inkjet I am aware of is going to give you super color and especially blacks on plain paper. In fact you are just going to saturate the paper making a big mess. I would try to find some inexpensive photo paper. Don't forget you are going to pay quite a lot for ink............don't skimp too much on the paper or you'll be unhappy.

I had the exact same problem with the exact same papers! We had a pack of 20 Kodak photo paper (I believe we received it free in the mail or something.) After the 3 photos we printed on the Epson paper came out stunningly good, we tried the Kodaks, and they were terrible no matter what settings I tried.

I have never attempted to use anything other than paper. You probably should check with Epson.

I had similar results when I first got my printer. When the software for the printer is installed, there is an icon that appears in the lower right corner of the notification area. If you click on that, you can set the resolution and darkness of scanned items. That cleared up my problems to where images are clear and crisp.

I recently printed some photos of my grandkids on glossy-premium photo paper from Office Max and they turned out beautiful. I also printed some 4 x 6 prints. It is relatively easy to adjust the printer to accommodate different sizes, just read the instruction book. I would suggest printing on plain paper every 8 to 10 prints though, just to keep the inks from slight overrun. This would probably be avoided if you got a more matte photo paper. It's a great printer for any project I've tried.

If you use Epson printers, ink and paper the results are incredible. Both my printers print with 6 colors. People cannot believe the quality of the pictures.Chuck

the time it takes to print is relative to the quality of what your printing, paper type etc. Check printer set up (preferences) I use text only and change to text and Image or Photo quality or Best Photo when needed.
